Chapter 578

Harriet found it hard to accept that she was just dragged by Bonita out of the Moran family’s house.

Finally, she broke out.

She shook off Bonita’s hand and asked unwillingly, “Mom, why didn’t you help me deal with the Moranfamily just now? Why did you even protect that bitch Eliana?”

Bonita felt Harriet was really being unreasonable. She always made trouble out of nothing. So Bonitawarned her again, “Didn’t I tell you not to mess with Eliana? You don’t know her that much. Herbackground is not as simple as you think.”

“Then tell me! How will I know if you don’t tell me? Who the hell is that bitch? How come we can’t affordto offend her? We are the Stone family, after all.”

Was Eliana born into a noble family? How could it be possible? For Harriet, this was the most doubtfuland unacceptable thing.

“Stop talking nonsense!” At this time, Bonita was already very angry at her rebellious daughter. “Ihaven’t taught you a lesson yet. Have you gone out of your mind? How could you risk your own life toframe your rival in love just because of a man? Have you ever thought if it’s worth it or not?”

“Mom, it’s worth it. I want Maurice. And I’ll get him at all costs.”

As she said this, Harriet had a ferocious look on her face. It was as if she was being possessed.

Bonita looked at Harriet in disbelief. She couldn’t believe that the daughter she had always been proudof was now desperate for a man. What had happened?

She was so furious that she raised her hand and gave Harriet a hard slap in the face.

The impact made Harriet turn her head to the side. And she was totally stunned. Bonita always dotedon her. She didn’t understand why Bonita would beat her now because of someone else.

“Are you sober now?” Bonita asked, her hand still trembling. Then she added angrily, “When I wantedyou to be engaged with Maurice, I asked you to help me get the Moran Group, not to make youinfatuated with him.”

Bonita’s words were like a sharp blade that pierced through Harriet’s heart. She couldn’t bear itanymore, so she broke into tears and ran away, covering her face.

Bonita could do nothing but just watch Harriet’s back helplessly, feeling a dull pain in her temples.

She told herself, “Forget it. Give her some time, and she’ll figure it out one day.”

Bonita was still lost in thought when a mysterious black car stopped in front of her.

She pondered for a moment and got in the car.

It turned out that Gerald was also in the back seat. He smiled at her and said sincerely, “Mrs. Stone,are you interested in talking to me now?”

“I don’t know what you want to talk about.” Bonita played dumb.

“Don’t play dumb in front of me.” Gerald turned his head and looked at her with eyes full of madness,“As long as you help me bring Maurice down, I will help you carve up the Moran Group.”

Now Gerald didn’t care about the Moran Group anymore. All he wanted was to defeat Maurice andmake him doomed forever.

Bonita looked at the crazy Gerald with a gloomy expression.

Before, she wanted to get the Moran Group. But now, her ambition was more than that. She wantedmore.

“Gerald, I’ll tell you the truth. What I want is more than just the Moran Group.”

“What do you mean? Aside from Moran Group, what else do you want?”

Gerald was stunned. He didn’t know what else could be more valuable than the Moran Group.

Bonita sneered, “I’m afraid you still don’t know the background of Maurice’s girlfriend.”

“Do you mean Eliana Pierce?” Now, Gerald was more confused. “Isn’t she the daughter of the Piercefamily? What else can she have?”

“The problem is… Her mother’s maiden name is White,” Bonita said slowly. “Ingrid was a well-knownbeauty in the past, and she came from an even more prominent family. But later, the White family fellinto decline. It was at that time that she left the White family and married into the Pierce family. Butlater, the White family rebuilt their business and made a comeback. Their situation has been evengreater in recent years. If the White family knows that Ingrid’s daughter has been out there, they willdefinitely take her back.”

As Bonita explained Eliana’s background to Gerald, there was a hint of fear and imperceptible jealousyin her tone.

When Gerald heard this familiar name, his mind traveled back in time.

Ingrid’s voice and appearance appeared in his mind again. All these years, he wanted to forget her, buthe just couldn’t.

And every time he thought that such a beautiful woman committed suicide for Lemuel, he could notaccept it.

But somehow, he couldn’t help but feel a little fortunate. Ingrid did not completely disappear. BecauseEliana, who had inherited her beautiful face, appeared.

Maybe he still had a chance.
